Adopting the SafSec approach can give you a strong return on investment. The areas of particular
value are:
- The ability to re-use the arguments and
evidence within safety and security certification domains removes duplication
of effort = lower costs in the certification aspects of the development
phase;
- The ability to develop certification incrementally
reduces the risk to reaching certification of the entire system = lower
costs at the end of the development phase;
- The ability to incorporate COTS and legacy
components into the certification architecture due to the knowledge of the
risks that it poses and enabling their subsequent mitigation = lower costs
early in the development phase;
- The ability to verify the safety and security
properties at a component level enables change and impact analysis to be more
localised = lower costs over the whole life cycle;
- The ability to re-use components due to
the modular approach = lower costs in other systems life cycles;
- The ability to unify safety and security
risk early in the lifecycle allows for the conflicts and gaps to be resolved
earlier, which will minimise costs and maximise the likelihood of smoother
certification = lower costs throughout the development lifecycle;
- The ability to use eDC with customised
templates within your certification framework does not entail the purchase
of other underlying tools = lower costs in the whole life cycle.
When the return from the above areas is combined
the return on adopting a SafSec approach is monetarily tangible.
